I am currently in an abusive relationship that I am trying to get out of and end. During the recent spring and summer semester’s I have been completing his online schoolwork for him because I was afraid that he would get mad at me. I finished both of the classes with high B grades and because I took so much time on his work, I am now having difficulties with mine. I know that I shouldn’t have done it for him, but he talked me into it and then wasn’t even proud of the grade he received when I literally worked my butt off to finish it for him. I was up night and day all summer just for him.
My question is if I were to tell the academic advisor and financial aid advisors what has been done will it mess up my schooling? I am really nervous about this situation because my education is all I have and it means a lot to me. I do not think he would agree with that, but I am ready to stand up for myself and I am ready to tell the truth about him. I am working with a therapist in trying to get out of this situation and relationship, but this, in particular, is getting me really stressed.
All answers and replies are greatly appreciated. Thank you so much and god bless.
By all means, get out of this relationship pronto. Hopefully, you are not living with him, but if you are, find some kind of emergency housing.
Plagiarism is a form of cheating, but I don’t know if I would call this plagiarism as you willfully gave him your work to pass off as his own. It’s still cheating, and it can have serious academic consequent for you and him. You can both be placed on academic suspension or even expelled from school. The right thing to do is to throw yourself on the mercy of the school. Explain how you feared for your safety and that you cooperated in the cheating under duress. Good luck.
It’s called ACADEMIC DISHONESTY. You will be in trouble for doing his work. Just move on.
Get out of this abusive relationship now. The relationship will never get better, only worse. And the longer u stay in it, the harder it will be for u to leave.
Can you go to a local woman’s shelter? Don’t tell him that you’re leaving. Just disappear.
I wouldn’t mention the fact that you were doing his work. I understand that you did it under duress, but I don’t see what you have to gain from bringing it up.
Just focus on extricating yourself from this guy’s life and staying safe.
